verdaderas

Verdaderas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective verdadero, meaning true, real, or genuine. It describes feminine plural nouns and can function attributively (verdaderas historias) or as a substantive phrase meaning “the true ones” or “the real ones” in context. The term derives from Latin verus.

In usage, verdaderas most often appears to emphasize authenticity or correctness. Common collocations include verdaderas historias (true stories), verdaderas intenciones (genuine intentions), and verdaderas palabras (true words). It is used across different registers, from everyday speech to literature and journalism, to distinguish what is considered real or accurate from what is false or provisional. The form contrasts with masculine plurals such as verdaderos and with synonyms like veraces, which stresses truthfulness or veracity in character or statements.

As a word, verdaderas is not typically a standalone proper noun or title. When capitalized, it may appear in localized slogans, poetic lines, or specific editorial choices, but it generally functions within sentences as an ordinary adjective. The concept it expresses is central to the broader Spanish vocabulary related to truth, authenticity, and accuracy.

Related terms include verdadero (masculine singular), veracidad (veracity), and verdad (truth). Verdaderas shares with these terms the core idea of authenticity, while each form adapts to gender and number agreement within a sentence.
